Key result
Among 15-year survivors after first-time CABG, the prevalence of chest pain increased from 44% at 5 years to 50% at 15 years (p=0.004), and dyspnoea increased from 60% to 74% (p<0.001).

May support ongoing symptom monitoring in long-term CABG survivors; extends trajectory data but leaves open mitigation strategies.
Observational (n=2,000)
Absolute Event Rate: 50% vs 44%
p-value: p=0.004
While CABG provides long-term symptom relief, functional-limiting symptoms tend to recur, with half of patients reporting chest pain and three-quarters reporting dyspnoea 15 years post-surgery.
Herlitz et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease post-CABG (n=2,000). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on chest pain at 15 years compared to 5 years (p=0.004). Among 15-year survivors after first-time CABG, the prevalence of chest pain increased from 44% at 5 years to 50% at 15 years (p=0.004), and dyspnoea increased from 60% to 74% (p<0.001).
